Vegetarian or not, start your meal with pita bread and whipped feta, so light and airy that it disappears fast. Or start with the warm Turkish hummus with crispy chickpeas on top that add an awesome spicy crunch to each bite.

2. Vui's Kitchen

Fresh, vibrant and flavorful is the name of the game at Vui’s Kitchen, where you can get almost anything on the menu made vegetarian with lemongrass tofu.

Most dishes come topped with fresh herbs and vegetables chopped right in front of you. If that’s not a vegetarian’s heaven, then I don’t know what it is.

The tofu summer rolls with noodles, vegetables and herbs in soft rice paper are a great starter when slathered generously with Vui’s peanut sauce. The vegetarian banh mi on a French baguette will leave you stuffed and satisfied, or opt for a lighter option like Vui’s salad topped with tofu and citrus vinaigrette.

Finish things off with an avocado shake, made with avocado, almond milk and sweetened condensed milk. It might sound strange but it sure is tasty.

4. The Wild Cow

Vegetarians can order anything on the huge menu at this hipster East Nashville spot, which is known for putting a vegan spin on things like queso, nachos, Caesar salad and reubens.

The tacos are creative and filling (think sweet potato and black bean with homemade jerk sauce or peanut tempeh with sautéed kale), but you really shouldn’t visit Wild Cow without ordering the buffalo tempeh or tofu.

You can get it as an app with vegan ranch, add it to the market veggie salad or get the Buffalo Beans & Greens bowl for the ultimate vegetarian comfort meal. It comes with brown rice, pinto beans, garlicky kale and shredded carrots, all topped with the spicy buffalo tempeh or tofu and vegan ranch. Is it lunch time yet?

Oh, and good luck passing up the scrumptious cupcakes and other treats surrounding the cash register.
